Chuck, we could put the nose of the Belle toward the bank and get that big old paddle wheel churning up a froth. I bet that would would make chum out of those big heads!!

What's up Chuck man I haven't fished in so long I have probably forgot how. St Clair every Spring has ruined me on Kentucky lakes although I did have an awesome Spring on Cumberland. Now all I do is work, sweat, watch it rain..............A LOT...........cut grass, sweat..................watch it rain....................A LOT.............

Miss fishing with ya bro maybe this fall if it EVER cools down we'll chase a toothy critter before the snow. I hope you, the little man and the whole family are well.

Take care

Been wondering where you were at my brother. Glad to here everything other than the grass is good lol. We need to get out for sure. Heck maybe a little sooner than the toothy critter run Give me a call sometime we need to hook up over a cold one anyway.

No expert here but if these pictures were taken recently I would suggest the first two pic's are bighead and silvers. The third pic I would say are cats. How close to the dam or hydro's were you for the first two? Chuck

carp ,catfish,bass?
I'm wanting to fish there,but I'm told dnr harass people. unnecessary tickets can cost 100 s.
cheaper to buy fish.

We call them carp but they really arn't. Check out the Asian carp forum for more information. And yes the DNR will harass you do to this being a very dangerous area. Have your things in order and don't be surprised😉 Chuck

Out of 100 or more trips in my boat to the lower I've been checked by the DNR maybe two times. The officers were professional and courteous and yes, I've had my stuff together. I wouldn't call it harassment unless you're not in compliance with safety gear,proper license, etc.
